The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1887-02-05
Roberts and Baker are making

thing. They will bear watching.
Arthur S. Thomas, secretary
and acting governor of Utah, anG
P. H. Lannan, of the Salt Lake
Tribune, were in the city yesterday
1t is understood that they are to
become interested in the ditch to
be taken out of Boise river north
and west of Caldwell.-Statesman.
The ground hog came out last
Wednesday, saw his shadow and
retired to the shades of private life
for six more long weary weeks. 1t
seems as if the old follow was pref
ty wise this time, for Thursday was
the coolest day we have had this
winter. If he would come out
two or three times more we would
be able to put up some ice.
There is a movement on foot to
organize a lyceum and debating
club at this. place. A great many
are already interested and they are
trying to interest every body else,
with good results. The merits of
such an organization need no COM
ment. It will cause many an 9TH
erwise dull evening TO be spent both
pleasantly and profitably, and also
test the metal of our local talent.
A meeting will be held at the school
house next Wednesday evening to
perfect an organization and elect
officers. All are invited to turn
out-young and old-and take part
in the organization. The program
of the society when once organized
will be to give occasional free enter
tainments, consisting of essays, de-
carnations, orations, papers, de-
bates, ETC., and to have a good So
cial time generally. Everybody
turn out Wednesday evening, it
won't hurt you.
Three thousand, six hundred
acres of land in this district were
restored to the public domain by
the U. S. land Office last week.
Also reported five thousand and
thirty-six acres for cancellation to
the Commissioner of the General
Land office. And notified parties
of the expiration of their time on
about two thousand five hundred
acres more. All this land has been
covered by desert entries. The
desert land act requires final pooof
of reclamation of the land and final
payment to be made within three
years from date of entry; and when
that time expires without proof and
payment having been made, the
party making the entry receives
notice from the Register and Re-
ceiver that within ninety days he
must show cause why he has not
complied with the law. The ninety
days expiring without him show
ing cause, the case is reported to
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office for cancellation.-Boise
Democrat.
See here, p. P. Shelby, do you
know what you are about ? Don't
you know that you have no right to
enter land in Idaho without con-
sulting the Boise Statesman ? For
shame, sir, such rank ignorance
cannot be tolerated Go, sir, and
put on your Ounce cap and do PEN
itence for your monumental stupid
ity! See what you have done by
your COMPOUNDED ignorance. Al
ready have you been dubbed in
league with that arch fiend Stra-
horn, and second TO that unscrupu-
lous villain, A. Caldwell and his
gang" And this is not all, sirl
Having deliberately broken one of
the rules of the Statesman and in
vaded her most sacred rights, you
have, after drawing upon yourself
tho fro of her heaviest artillery,
taken refuge behind the Caldwell
bulwarks, and thus exposed our de-
fenceless and peaceful citizens to
her awful wrath. Rash man I
